Get Hands-On with Industrial Control Systems & Real-World Engineering Projects
We’re looking for practical, enthusiastic engineers who are curious about how things work, enjoy solving real-world problems, and want to further their career in SCADA and Instrumentation & Control (I&C).
Who Are We?
We’re Tascomp, a UK-based control systems company with over 40 years’ experience developing SCADA and monitoring systems that are used across industries – from aerospace and engine testing to pharmaceuticals and manufacturing.
Our core SCADA product, Prodigy, has been developed in-house by our engineering teams and is trusted by leading organisations across the UK and globally.
We also supply:
* PlantRun – production performance monitoring systems
* PAMS – air traffic control alarm management systems (civil & MOD)
But this role will primarily focus on Prodigy SCADA applications, integrating with sensors, PLCs, and other I&C hardware to build tailored control systems.
What Will You Be Doing?
You’ll join our Applications Team, working on a wide range of SCADA and control projects from design through to delivery.
Key tasks will include:
* Interfacing with sensors, instrumentation, and PLCs – understanding I/O signals and real‑world data capture
* Configuring and customising Prodigy SCADA systems for different industries and applications
* Creating intuitive status displays, dashboards, and trend reports
* Developing control logic and automation sequences
* Setting up and testing systems in our workshop environment
* Visiting customer sites for commissioning and support
* Running Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs)
* Working closely with customer engineers to integrate with their processes
* Writing functional design specifications and project documentation
* Providing training and support to end users
This is a hands‑on role where you’ll be working with real machines, real sensors, and real processes – not just coding behind a desk.
What’s In It for You?
£40k‑44k salary dependent on experience, and performance pay review after 6 months
* Clear path for career progression – with no salary cap
* Flexitime and Lieu Time to maintain work‑life balance
* Loyalty holiday scheme (up to 30 days leave)
* 14%+ pension contribution (with salary sacrifice uplift)
* Free parking at our site
* Exposure to diverse industries: aerospace, pharma, automotive, energy, and more
* Learn from a team of experienced SCADA engineers
What Are We Looking For?
We’re more interested in your practical mindset and enthusiasm than years of experience. If you have a genuine interest in SCADA, sensors, PLCs, and control systems, we can train you.
* Degree or equivalent in Engineering, Instrumentation, IT, or Science
* A practical, problem‑solving attitude – comfortable working with hardware and software
* 5+ years’ experience in an industrial environment
* Understanding of real‑time data collection and process control
* Familiarity with PLC integration
* Knowledge of databases and reporting toolsSelf‑motivated and able to work independently when needed
* Good written and verbal communication skills
* Strong attention to detail
* Full driving licence
* Proof of right to work in the UK
Desirable (but we’ll train the right person)
* Programming/scripting knowledge
* Ability to read and understand CAD drawings and technical documents
* Confident with fault finding, debugging, testing and commissioning
* Ability to specify and source suitable hardware for projects (e.g. digital signal to provide product count, analogue signal to provide level reading for tank monitoring)
* Knowledge of electrical panel design standards
* Troubleshooting of low voltage electrical panels in relation to automation equipment
* Experience with UI/UX design for operator interfaces
You’ll Thrive Here If You
* Enjoy hands‑on problem solving
* Are curious about how sensors and control systems interact
* Like working on varied, real‑world projects
* Want to learn from experienced engineers and see the impact of your work
* Are enthusiastic, practical, and not afraid to get stuck in on‑site
